I am forever cold but I took up running last spring and absolutly love it so I didn't want to sit out of all the winter races and spend all of my time on the treadmill. The winter run series came and I registered and was nervous when the temps here on Long Island started dropping to the teens so I knew I needed something to keep warm. I was hesitant at first because I felt [$] was alot for running pants, I don't even spend that on jeans! But let me tell you it was the best [$] I spent on any of my running clothes. There was snow and ice and it was 25 degrees but I loved every second of the race and it has alot to do with the fact that I was not freezing my bum off! These pants paired with my Ghost GTX and I was warn and dry!! Thank you Brooks! The picture is me and my friend after the race BOTH happy in our Brooks Utopia Thermal Pants!!!

I am 5'2" on a good day. These pants were exactly what I've been seeking for cold, wet Oregon workouts. The 'articulated' knee lands mid-shin on me and at least 3" of the pant drags on the ground. Not exactly a good plan for a wet workout. Site says '30-31" inseam'... definitely not accurate. Seriously bummed they're not offered in a petite length.

I bought these pants so that I could stay warm in the winter. Unfortunately, it doesn't get entirely too cold up here to use them all that often! That is the biggest downside. Otherwise, these are great pants - nice and warm, comfortable, and I never felt like I was overheating. I love that I have them for an option to wear if and when it gets very cold.

i'm 5'8" and 160 pounds and purchased a Medium. I must have short legs. I like my pants to the waist and long, and these fit perfectly. Have worn them in 30s degrees temps on their own and in the teens with a base layer underneath, and they are my favorite cold weather pants. Also good for casual cold weather wear.

I hate the cold, and was not looking forward to my first winter as a "runner". These pants have changed my view on winter running - I wore them in ~10 degree F temps, with yoga leggings underneath, and I stayed warm and comfortable for my 12 mile run. My only complaint is that they are just a TAD shorter than I'd like (I'm 5'6"), but I really like the zipper feature on the bottoms of the legs - they do make a difference in how the pants look.

Strange fit and too long. I'm a muscular small-waisted, full behind and thigh gal and these were NOT a good fit. I'm usually a medium in pants and small in skirts. I ended up getting the Utopia Thermal Cozy Pant in a medium petite. I NEVER order petite and based on the other reviews I think Brooks needs to rework it's sizing on these pants. The Utopia Thermal line is GREAT. I run in Northern winter snow situations and they keep me warm.
